Riyadh is the centre of the sporting world tonight as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk lock horns again.

The 'Gypsy King' felt defeat for the first time in his pro career in May as the Ukrainian went a staggering 22-0 after a split-decision win. The 12 rounds were a treat for fighting fanatics as the undefeated Usyk became the first man since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to become unified after he got his hands on Fury's WBC championship. He made history as the first undisputed king of heavyweight boxing, with the WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and IBO belts his to savour.

Fury must now face his demons and dig deep to save his legacy and ensure a possible trilogy. Like of loathe him, Fury has been a joy both in and out the ring since picking up the gloves in 2008. The 36-year-old has beat Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora and Francis Ngannou to name a few. But Usyk is his ultimate opponent with the Kingdom Arena setting the perfect stage.

Usyk kicked off his own boxing career in 2013 in the slightly lighter cruiserweight division, clinching his first world title in the form of the WBO belt just ten fights deep thanks to a unanimous decision win over Krzysztof Glowacki in 2016.

'The Cat' also held the WBA (Super), WBC and IBF belts at cruiserweight before vacating his collection in 2019 to make the step up to heavyweight. Usyk clinched the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles after beating Anthony Joshua via UD in 2021 and has made three defences of his belts in the years since - including his May victory over Fury.
